"Mullet was sentenced in February to 15 years for leading 15 of his followers from a small Amish sect in Ohio in a religion-fueled rampage that left victims cut, traumatized, and beardless."

I thought amish people loved beards...
Popculture has lied to me!

Perhaps they don't want anyone else to have them.

[Fniff]

Perhaps they think we're abusing them as evidenced by hipsters?

[Akura]

A Mullet attacked some beards?

According to the article, they attacked other Amish whom they deemed "not religious enough". Because, you know, judging others lest ye be judged, and all that,

Context-guessing time! Did someone tell you "Starbucks is evil, because their cups show Satan"?

I actually don't see the problem at all.
Then again, I have seen enough.. uhm.. let's just say the Internet got weird places.

Mainly because a map of coffee shops in London looks like 28 days later.

I mentioned in the Rage thread, that some guys got beat up in the parking lot at my school.
The beating wasn't even in "Death Row" (the parking lot, near the football field were there were no cameras).
It was in the Parking lot next to the senior gym. My cousin used to pick me up there last year when I was a freshman, that could have been us.
Did mention the two guys who got beat up where football players, big guys too?

Despite knowing about them, the fact that unlicensed dancing is outright illegal in most states constantly blows my mind.

Brought up because, after failing to get Microsoft to pay taxes, Washington has decided to crack down extremely heavily on unlicensed dancing and dance taxes.

[Fniff]

Time to write a suggestion for LCS about a new "dance" issue.

[Frumple]

Uh. Dance... taxes? What? *checks*

Oh. On... clubs. And suchlike. I was thinking, just. Y'know. If you do a little shimmy Uncle Sam's going to molest your pockets for booze money.

Why the blazes did Washington give MS a 1.5 billion tax amnesty, anyway?

E: Looking into it a bit more... what the flying fuck. Why isn't that in the rage thread? Was it in the rage thread? WA gave MS a 100 mill tax break and 1.5 billion tax amnesty, cut education spending by nearly 175 million, raised taxes, and are letting the unemployment benefits for disabled lapse this last(?) year. What the flying monkeyfuck happened over there? Wait... that happened... a year ago? Two? Site ye' linked to GG doesn't seem to give years

Anyone know what happened?

[GlyphGryph]

Well, it's not just clubs. It's anywhere. The laws are written vaguely, as they serve as little more than an excuse to shut places down that don't pay bribes in most places. Since the costs are usually prohibitive, most places just go without.

It's not as bad as in Japan, but it's still pretty in bad in most places.
